Monkey, forgive me for being dimwitted about these things.

Last year I bought the Nokia Lumia 520 because it was on sale. I've never taken it out of the box because I forgot what I am supposed to do with it!

So, since I have that, is there any point in my buying one of these $20 or $30 items for myself?

Of course, there are teenagers to buy for, but that's another question.
It depends on what your needs are. I picked up the LG Volt (Android) and the Nokia 520 (Windows) last year. The Volt is far more versatile than the Nokia because the Windows appstore is very weak when it comes to book related apps. So I use the Nokia mostly for music. Did I need it? No! But for $10, it's a great music player and I don't regret getting it. The Volt is my go to audio player.

So, do you need or want a streaming audio player (audiobooks, music, podcasts, etc)? If yes, then an Android no contract phone (NCP) is far more versatile than a Windows NCP.

IIRC this works on all LG phones. From the Language Select screen, press keys in this order
1: Volume Up
2: Volume Down
3: Back Button
4: Home Button

Monkey, I'm not sure if you're interested in this, but Roku is introducing a $25 streaming player on Black Friday, "limited supply".

Normally, I'd do the searching myself, but the wireless at the RV park I'm staying with is problematic, ranging from barely adequate to awful, so I'd appreciate it if you'd put it on your list.

Thanks.

I just activated it w/o payment. I bought the boost version. I chose a plan etc. on their website, didn't enter any payment method and it got activated.
I later also rooted the device using KingRoot.

I don't have any activation nags (after restart or anything).

If you're willing to root but don't want to register try that first. I think it'll stop it by itself.
Hope it's helpful to someone.

Sorry about that. I had to re-shuffle the order and forgot to change the index. I'll make the changes. Thanks for the heads up.
